Comeau and Bailey trade idea

I'm not s sure about this. What Tavares & Moulson need is fast skater who works the corners and can hit those other two. Tavares is a scorer/passer, Moulson a shooter. Comeau has speed and can hit, but he is also a shooter. He would have to be a strong forechecker/backchecker and give up some shooting for that line to make the most of their abilities.
I would be surprised if thet are going to pay PAP $1.2MM to sit in the owners box.

basically why I hope we do hold onto bailey and he gets another chance... if he can pan out and be a legit 2nd line center.... then strome and JT are going to be an dynamic duo

Now add: Mark Streit and Brian Rolston who are both excellent on the PP.
Add: Michael Grabner who just started playing some PP at the end of the year
Add: Nino Niederreiter (maybe) or Calvin deHaan (maybe) or another player via trade/UFA, etc.....

and there aren't as many available minutes to spread around the PP which will GREATLY influence the point totals.

I like Comeau a great deal, but he's not a 70pt player. He's just not that good offensively. I don't even think he broke 80pts in junior.

The Islanders are a better team with Comeau on the ice over Parenteau. I think Bailey is better than BOTH of them and still has a higher upside than many of the prospects. I believe Bailey can be as good offensively as anyone not named Tavares. Just because he hasn't put it together YET doesn't mean he can't or won't. (maybe Van-Fla felt the same way about Grabner at one time - not too long ago)

Bottom line: I don't think either should be traded and I don't think either's value is best measured in goals and assists. They BOTH need to add consistency in their game but I'm happy with them on this team at this stage.

PAP does make a lot of money, he could make up a good 4th line with Martin and Reasoner.

Comeau will hit and has some speed, he compliments the other 2 guys perfectly. Comeau is in a contract year, we have depth in the forward department, the days of Sim, Jackman, Schremp, Tambo etc.. are over.

They didn't resign PAP to play on the 4th line... bar an upgrade or KO jumping to that line he will be playing with JT and Moulson. I'd rather see Comeau play with Bailey and see if they can get that magic they had at the beginning of the season when they looked like the sedins playing. Comeau would make to many shooters on that line...
